Gentlemen:

Subject: Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-277/86-21; 50-278/86-22

A routine safety inspection of your radioactive waste preparation, packaging

and shipping program was conducted by Mr. H. Bicehouse of this office on

October 20-24, 1986. Our findings were discussed with Mr. D. Smith and others

of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection on October 24, 1986.

Areas of your radioactive waste program examined during this inspection are

described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report which is enclosed with this

letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations

of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel and obser-

vations made by the inspector.

We have reviewed the actions taken to correct the violations brought to your

attention in the enclosures to our letters, dated September 25, 1985 and

December 9, 1985. The corrective actions stated in your letters, dated

October 30, 1985 and January 7, 1986, appear to be adequate to prevent recur-

, rence.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activi-

<

ties were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth

in the Notice of Violation, enclosed with this letter as Appendix A. These

violations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the NRC

Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register

Notice (50 FR 47718) dated November 20, 1985 and effective February 18, 1986.

You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you

should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

These violations involve your failure to properly describe radionuclides con-

tained in a radioactive waste shipment and to properly classify the waste in

another shipment for burial purposes. In addition to the response described

above that you are required to provide, you are requested to review all your

radioactive waste shipments from August 1, 1985, through October 23, 1986, to

determine if other shipments were misclassified under 10 CFR 20.311 and 10 CFR

61.55. Please provide the results of this review within 60 days of the date of
